7.9.10 Communications precautions 1) Communications timing Set a sufficient response delay to make sure that this product is switched over from transmission to reception with regard to a high-level computer in using communications. See "7.9.3 Communications procedure" and "7.9.2 3) Setting a response delay." 2) Interval between requests In transmitting a series of "request messages"...

8) Storing data other than a store request message Store all parameters in the EEPROM in either of the three cases described below, even if no store request message is received. If auto-tuning is started and ends normally. (Provided that only PID constants are saved.) 9) Changing the settings (SV or SV2) by communications during auto-tuning Even if the settings (SV or SV2) used in control for auto-tuning are changed by communications, the settings (SV or SV2) will not be changed until the auto-tuning ends.

7.9.12 Examples of communications to be written Example: Request message: Requests that the temperature alarm output setting of EIF in channel 1 (High-level computer) of unit number 3 be changed to deviation top/bottom alarm + holding. In response to that, Response message: This returns a notice that the request message has been received.
